Citing family obligations, Leah Curtis of Marstons Mills’ Precinct 12 has announced she will not run for another term on the town council.

In her councilor’s column on this week’s Villages page in The Barnstable Patriot (B:1), Curtis thanks her constituents “for the privilege of representing and serving you.”

Curtis said she made the announcement to let people know “there is an opportunity for a new face on the Council at this year’s election.”

Of her colleagues whose terms end this year, Tom Rugo (Precinct 2), Fred Chirigotis (4), and Janet Joakim (6) are running again. Harold Tobey (8) is retiring, and Jan Barton (10) has not announced her intentions.
